July Unboxing Ritual: Pampering Paws & Toes

It's July and the sizzle of summer is in full swing! This month's box is my gentle reminder that during these warmer months you and your pup should take a little time for pampering all the way from nose to tail. With yummy treats, a cool touch for your toes, and playful surprises, I've picked each and every item in to help you take a breath and enjoy the smoother side of summer. Find a sunny spot and enjoy the ritual of unboxing this month’s Dog Mom Lifestyles together, side by side with your pup, delighting in every treat and surprise you discover.

Cucumber Fresh Pedi in a Box

After a day filled with morning walks, muddy paws, and endless fetch sessions (not to mention your all-too-human responsibilities of home and work) your feet deserve a cool touch. This refreshing Cucumber Fresh Pedi in a Box is my invitation to you to relax and put your feet up (literally) while your pup rests nearby. With four simple steps—salt soak, sugar scrub, mud masque, and massage butter—it’s a spa day in your the cozy corner of the world that you and your dog share. 

Infused with crisp, cooling cucumber, this vegan, cruelty-free treat revives tired skin and soothes your senses without ever leaving the house.

Woolzies Peppermint Foot Cream

I love the refreshing scent of peppermint, so I had to grab this wonderful foot cream from Woolzies to wrap up your home pedicure. This cooling blend of shea butter, coconut oil, and essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, and lavender brings an instant sign of relaxation. It's part of your monthly Dog Mom ritual you can really look forward to: your pup curled up nearby, with you taking a quiet moment to treat your toes!

Milk & Honey Cuticle Oil – A Moment Just for You

Your hands do it all—from leash clips to treat tosses to comforting strokes on your pup’s back. This cuticle oil is your gentle reminder to give those hardworking hands a little love, too. The nourishing milk and honey formula soaks in fast without a heavy feel, so you won’t miss a moment of play. Packed with plant-based ingredients and completely free of artificial additives, it hydrates dry cuticles and helps keep nails strong and healthy. Think of it as one more soothing step in your dog mom ritual—simple, sweet, and just for you.

Kong Wubba Cheeta Toy

You know that moment when your dog locks eyes with a favorite toy and you both just know it’s game on? That’s exactly the kind of joy this wild Wubba brings. With no stuffing to worry about, the flat cheetah shape is perfect for tug, toss, and tail-wagging fun—especially for dogs who love to shake and thrash their toys like a boss. The long tails make it easy to grab, and the squeaker keeps the excitement going. It’s one more way to burn off that zoomie energy together and make your daily playtime a moment that matters.

A Tiny Toy for Your Littlest Love

Did you know the size of your pup is special to me? I search for perfect toys for every dog, from teeny pups to extra-large canines. If your dog is one of our smallest sidekicks, you may find a soft, squishy stuffed horse tucked into your box —complete with a fluffy mane and the sweetest little blue hooves. I love that it's different from the usual stuffed squirrel or bunny dog toys. This cute equine is soft, sweet, and made for the tiniest members of your pack who still deserve big fun (and maybe a couple of extra kisses, too).

Chippin’ Veggie Dailies Crunchy Treats

Sometimes, it’s the simplest moment—like giving your pup a wholesome treat—that's the sweetest part of your day together. These oven-baked, crunchy veggie biscuits from Chippin are packed with goodness and thoughtfully made right here in the USA by a woman-owned company (and you know I love that!). Spirulina, kale, and carrot give them a superfood boost, while the gentle ingredients make them perfect for sensitive stomachs.

Whether you sprinkle some over your dog’s dinner or use them for an extra “I love you” moment mid-day, these plant-based bites are a feel-good way to care for your pup and the planet. No meat, no mystery—just clean, crunchy goodness.

Summer Snack Reversible Bandana

You’re not the only one eyeing that backyard snack table. This month, your pup gets to show off their own summer BBQ flair with this reversible red bandana—solid and classic on one side, bold red check on the other, and just the right amount of sass. With a grilling-inspired message that reads, “Every burger you flip, every chip you dip, I’ll be watching you,” it’s your dog’s way of saying, “I love you—and your BBQ, too.”

Soft, machine-washable, and ready for summer fun, this bandana is the perfect accessory for cookouts, patio lounging, or just keeping an eye on your plate.

July's Trendy Tee 

For you VIP and Trendy Tee Club dog moms, this month’s tee says what we’re all thinking when we arrive at a pet-free summer event: “I left my dog to be here… this better be good!” Printed in crisp teal and white on a soft black tee, it’s the ultimate mood message for dog moms who know exactly where your priorities lie.

Whether you're heading to work on a casual Friday, a meeting, or brunch with friends, this shirt lets the world know that your heart is still at home with your pup. Comfy, honest, and just the right amount of cheeky, it’s made for dog moms who show up as promised... but never without a little hesitation.

So, here's to July and your very own unboxing ritual—full of hands-to-toes-to-paws pampering. Whether you and your pup are chasing shade, chasing toys, or just chasing quiet, cozy moments on the couch, I hope this month’s Dog Mom Lifestyles picks bring a little extra joy to your summer days. Until next time, stay cool, stay kind, and give your pup an extra treat (or two) from me!
